Default Where did you meet your partner?

For those of you in a same-sex relationship, where and how did you meet your partner? Work? Friends? School? Gay bar? Online? Sorry if this has been asked before, but I was just wondering how many people met their partners through everyday life (work, school, friends) and how many met them in a more specialised (for want of a better word!) way (gay bar, internet, etc).

He was introduced to me by a friend, then came out to me three years later. We've been dating ever since.

Default Re: Where did you meet your partner?

It was a school sponsored leadership camp that was like a week long, 8rh grade. He was meditating on a rock, I thought he was wierd, but cute lol. Well he had a girlfriend at the time and she had her best friend with her. Well the girlfriends best friend was all over me, but I was so busy being all over this girlfriend. (He was jelous, lol He hated me cuz he thought I was trying to steal her) Anyways, they also had a gay friend, he was 100% flamboyant and obviously gay, but they didn't think anyone would notice. Well my bf's gf at the time told him to take me to a private place and tell me her friends secret. So Vince, (my current bf) decided to go all the way to the cabins, like far away and it was just he two of us, he told me his friend was gay and I was like DUH!!!!! haha
Thats how we met =]
But when we had a lotion fight with the other cabins vince and I stuck together and fought as a team despite us not really talking.

Freshman year we ended up going to the same highschool and we ended up crushing on eachother pretty hard. We always ate lunch together, ussually just the 2 of us, he would skip class for me =] Besides that though we never talked or hung out. We would caht like 4 hours a day on yahoo, but when school came we avoided eachother besides lunch. haha
Then sophmore year I came out to a friend ans she told all of our mutual friends. Vince found out, but the same day he found out I was already trying to hook him up with a girl. Well after chatting with me daily since than, and going to a movie and walking home in the dark, just he 2 of us, he emailed me that hes bi and he has been liking me for the past couple years.

Now its junior year, His mom hates me because I'm causing him to be gay when hes capable of being with a girl. B.S.
Hes very delicate anyways and loves to be dominated, so yeah, a guy is a better choice.

sigh*
were going to homecoming together on Saturday. He wants to wear a Blue shirt with a silver tie and I have to wear a silver shirt with a blue tie. He chose =/
lol I wanted simple white.
Woo woo, his mom is in vegas so she will never find out =]

I'm very talkative today...
No ones probaly even going to read all this, but I love to talk about Vince =]

Well, Teddy and I were introduced through our parents.

He's so cute and we've been together for a long time.

Too bad he's a stuffed bear.
